In this episode, we checked in with a relatively new rum distillery in Scotland that's already received some impressive praise in its early history—Ninefold Distillery! Owner and distiller Kit Carruthers took us through the journey of starting a rum distillery from scratch at Dormont Estate, a 450-year-old estate in the south of Scotland. We discussed:

The current landscape of rum production in Scotland

Kit's journey from climate change researcher to becoming a rum distiller

Ninefold's production process

Reactions to Scottish rum

Creating barrels from the estate's own trees

The unexpected history of Scottish rum

The ups and downs of starting a distillery

Releasing a rum with That Boutique-y Rum Company

Adventures with Watson, the distillery cat

And more!

You can learn more about Ninefold on the distillery's website.
